When he was about 18 years old, he was called for service in Athens and became one of the numerous armored soldiers in the infantry.
He showed great brave, fearlessness, and fortitude in the battle he participated.
After his service, he devoted himself to philosophy and even created his own discussion method to instruct his students with asking controversial questions. Nowadays, the method is still used in law schools in order to improve critical thinking and reasoning.
